The Tyrant Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 8

“I mean, you can just tell me in words how to adjust the mana.”

As I received a huge down payment, the burden on teaching the Prince increased.

As I felt pressured to prepare as well as I could, I grabbed Caliberne and talked to it as soon as I decided to plan my class with Cedric.

“Well, that’s hard to say.”

“It’s okay, just tell me…”

“Well…”

Only after such circumstances did Caliberne’s heavy mouth spoke.

“I mean…”

“Yes, yes…”

“Stretch your back and shake your hips.”

For some reason, I felt strongly that it was already wrong.

It’s talking about my hips? and the atmosphere when Caliberne first talked to me when it entered my body was completely different.

“Did you really have such a personality?”

I remember that Caliberne was very gentle in the original.

“You should do this, pull it out, then pop it, and pop it.”

“…”

When I stared at Calibernet with an expression of bewilderment on my face, Caliberne made a dissatisfied voice.

“…that’s why I wasn’t going to tell you.”

That’s true, though.

‘If I received 200 million kerta and gave classes like that, I would be imprisoned for fraud.’

“Just do it yourself. I can’t teach you how to do this.”

“No, but, I mean, It’s the first time you would help me use magic?”

“So you have to practice. And even when I’m not awake, you could use magic if you have a sword in your hand.”

“Oh, really?”

Of course I was going to practice, but I didn’t know if I could use magic even if Caliberne wasn’t awake.

So I asked if there’s any way to use magic freely by myself.

“You won’t have to practice that much. You won’t have much use for massive magic right now.”

Caliberne continued in a calm voice.

“You’re naturally talented at using magic. Too much mana was a bit of a problem, though. It was because I thought you were going to die, but I liked your talent.”

The words of Caliberne awakened my mind.

“Of course that’s the case, but if you believe in your strength right now, but if you go too far you could get hurt. If you don’t do it well, it might be out of control…”

“Wait, that means you could fit into someone else’s body. There must have been someone more talented than me.”

“No. You were the best.”

At Caliberne’s resolute answer, I muttered blankly with a mouth wide open.

“No way…”

“You’re the best. Would I cheat on a 12-year-old?”

“Wasn’t it more strange that the victory sword of the Empire, a sword that gives all sorts of great titles, came into the body of only a twelve-year-old child?”

Caliberne screamed, grabbing the handle of the sword and waving it.

“I had no intention of getting into the body of Princess Persephine from the next country-”

For reference, Persephine was the name of the original heroine.

She suddenly had to figure out why the original story began to falter.

“Oh, it’s because you’re better than her”

Caliberne snapped back and said.

“I thought you were going to die any moment from mama congestion, so I went into your body and saved you, and you talked a lot…”

“No, thank you for that but–”

“I don’t know. Stop asking. I’m going back to bed.”

“Wait a minute, just ask this one-”

“Get ready for your class.”

“Hey!”

The sword lost its light again, and no matter how many times I called Caliberne, there was no answer in not return.

It was less than a week, but I prepared my class thoroughly.

It was thanks to practicing magic all night long.

As Caliberne said, if I’m holding a sword, I would be able to use magic quite freely, and with the permission of the Imperial Knights, I practiced a variety of exercises by myself in a hall dedicated to the magic swords training range.

My experience in fencing from my previous life was more helpful than I thought.

Although it took some time before I could get used to it because the sword they use here had a different weight and shape from the sword I previously used in fencing competitions.

Of course, Caliberne didn’t help me at all.

‘Your life is on your own. I saved your life, and you have to take care of it.’

When I asked for help, Caliberne always responded in this way.

‘No, how could you not help me?’

‘You’re supposed to live alone in this world, I won’t let it slide just because you’re young.’

‘No, this was too much for me to do alone don’t you think? You just have to teach me once.’

‘I won’t. Don’t bother me again with such things.’

‘That’s too much. Can’t you help me for five minutes?’

However, the answer was still the same.

‘I don’t want to. It’s annoying. I’m going to live my life in my own way, so you take care of it yourself.’

That bastard.

After talking with each other for quite a long time, my habits from my previous life when speaking to someone naturally came out.

Whenever I did, Caliberne would ask me what that word meant, and use it himself.

Then I told you that ‘My Way’ means going on my own way without caring about what anyone says.

Then Caliberne immediately uses what he learned like that.

‘Anyway, seeing you talk like that, you have no intention of actually helping me.’

Eventually, I had to practice with swords on my own with tears.

“Well, let’s start the class.”

Cedric stiffened even though we had encountered each other several times in the meantime, perhaps because it was my first class.

He had a sword with a red ruby in his hand.

Unlike normal swordsmen, ordinary magic swords use a jeweled sword called a magic stone, and when you hold the sword, you could release your own magic through this magic stone.

The moment the sword’s owner holds the sword, the mana stone shines, which was a sign that it was ready to release its magic.

However, Cedric’s sword did not respond.

“First, hold the sword tightly with both hands. Just like when you were in a sword class.”

Then Cedric hesitated and held his sword in both hands and stretched it forward.

“Take a deep breath, and put pressure on your stomach.”

It was a know-how that I gained from staying up all night practicing.

“And keep your eyes on the magic stone. Straighten your back.”

I talked while slightly pushing Cedric’s crooked waist.

“Think of becoming one with the sword.”

The eyes like the red camellia petal, which seemed to have been poured with water, were fixed on the sword.

I could see his dark lashes shivering slightly.

“Now, hold your sword a little higher, think of it like letting out the energy in your body. On the count of three, swing the sword slightly up and down when you count.”

“Oh, okay…”

“Three, two, one…”

Cedric raised his sword over, but the sword was still unresponsive.

Nothing happened until about 5 seconds had passed.

“Uh…”

Cedric’s expression was visibly darkened.

When I saw the glow in his red candy-like eyes, I felt sad for some reason.

It was all the more so when he put down the sword and I glanced at his drooping hands.

“Here you go.”

I approached him and talked to him.

I corrected the drooping sword again, looked into his eyes and said.

“You can try again. It’s okay.”
